Dhaka, May 23 -- Bangladesh has expressed deep concern over the repeated acts of directing ballistic missiles by the Houthi rebels at Saudi sites and installations, including Makkah.

"Bangladesh condemns such unilateral acts of threat and coercion. Equally disconcerting is that the Houthis are targeting holy cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), which the Muslim World holds near and dear to their hearts," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Thursday.

Bangladesh reiterated its steadfast position against any unilateral act of provocation that can have adverse impact on the peace, stability and security of the region, in particular, and the world, in general.
